CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 404 I Don’t Have Father

Marshall chuckled, “You are glued to your phone. I’ve been standing by your side for a long time and you didn’t notice me. What’s wrong? Who is this guy? You are absolutely bewitched.”

Katherine put away her phone, “Nobody. You don’t know him.”

Marshall stared Katherine for a moment, “Well, you can introduce him to me.”

Katherine wasn’t in the mood to entertain him and just got out to start cooking.

Marshall followed her, “We don’t have to cook this morning. A grandpa just came over and wanted us to have meal at his place.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine paused, “Which grandpa?”

Marshall wouldn’t know this and just answered after pondering, “You would know when they come in a bit.”

Katherine then turned around and stood in the yard.

One of the villagers indeed walked in and invited Katherine and Marshall to lunch.

But it was not that grandpa who would entertain them but all the villagers.

They all pitched in and wanted to thank Marshall for donating money to build roads for them.

This road had been the nightmares of several generations.

Once it was done, the kids would have no trouble going to school and it would be more convenient for villagers to export local products.

Actually, they had nothing better to entertain Marshall but several chickens and sautéed meat which were incomparable to what Marshall would have usually in a fancy dinner.

But Marshall didn’t frown at the food but grinned, “Are these domestic chickens? They are purely natural and green.”

Village chief and secretary were on the same table with Marshall and they also brought a bottle of white wine.

Marshall declined as he might have to drive car later.

Then they just stopped persuading.

Katherine was also forced to join the table and instantly felt sickening when she smelled that chicken.

But she had no choice but to force it back under this circumstance.

Now that everyone was seated, they all started eating.

Everybody was merry and told Marshall that they wanted to fix the road long ago, but was unable to as they can’t pool the money.

Marshall then naturally followed that some strong men in the village could actually venture out to make a living.

Hearing Marshall’s words, one of the elders sighed, “Well, we’ve thought about this before, but there is no prosperous place for us to make money nearby. They can’t go too far as there are still elders and kids they have to attend at home. We can’t afford to give up growing crops while making meager salary outside.”

Katherine suddenly recalled the scene that she went to farm with her grandfather.

This was truly tough for them.

She mused and proposed, “Grandpa, I’ve been thinking this for a while and want to ask your opinion. We can bring some people back this time if you want to. I know a guy who is a low-level manager and he is in short of manpower. The food and lodging will be provided. Family members can also be brought along.”

Marshall turned to Katherine and raised the corner of his mouth, “Right, you can think about this. If you are willing to, you can go back with us.”

All the villagers immediately got excited as this offer was pretty generous.

Katherine let out a breath,

People present all lent a hand when her grandpa passed away. This could be seen as a return for their kindness.

While they were enjoying the lunch joyfully, Jack suddenly ran in and said seriously, “Katherine, someone is in your home!”

Katherine immediately frowned.

“It’s your dad!”

Katherine paused and didn’t come to her senses for a while.

All the villagers were getting lightheaded from the drinks, but immediately got energetic when they heard that asshole was home.

They were even more fuming than Katherine and charged to her house.

There were already a bunch of people encircling Katherine’s yard as they were pretty unoccupied during non-harvest season.

Katherine and Marshall saw a man standing in the open lot of the yard and staring at the house when they walked in.

Aunt Kelly had been yelling at him for a while, but that man acted like he didn’t hear a thing.

Katherine slowly approached him, “Who are you looking for?”

The man slowly turned around.

Katherine had no memory of her parents, so she scanned that man like a total stranger and repeated, “Who are you looking for?”

The man stared at Katherine for a while and muttered, “Kathy, I’m your dad.”

Aunt Kelly pissed, “Hoe shameless are you? You disappeared for all these years and just suddenly decide to pop out?”

The man paid no heed to aunt Kelly and walked towards Katherine.

Marshall immediately blocked him in front of Katherine, “Stay away from her.”

The man surveyed Marshall for a minute and added, “You are my son-in-law, right? Well, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Kathy’s dad and want to check on her after getting to know that she’s married.”

Katherine sneered upon hearing his words.

Did they really think that she didn’t know what they were up to?

Katherine directly answered, “Well, here I am. You can leave now.”

Reuben seemed like that he didn’t hear the disgust and hatred in Katherine’s words, “Kathy, we haven’t seen each other for years. I really missed you.”

Katherine giggled, “Well, you’ve been contacting with that woman, haven’t you? You two basically said the same thing.”

Reuben froze, “What are you talking about?”

Katherine sneered, “You got remarried and have a new kid now, right? You looked quite contented with your new family.”

Reuben instantly felt embarrassed.

Stimulated by the liquor, some of the bystanders shouted, “Reuben, you have absolutely no sense of shame. You abandoned Katherine and you father long ago and didn’t even come back when your father passed away. What are you doing home now?”

Reuben compressed his lips and acted like he was wronged, “I have my difficulties. I was afraid that I might become a burden.”

Katherine talked back, “Why weren’t you afraid that you would be a burden to others when you got remarried?”

Reuben gazed at Katherine, “Kathy, I know you are mad at me. I totally deserve this. I’m really sorry. But I’m still your dad and we’re biologically related. You can’t deny this.”

Katherine sneered, “Someone got to carry my grandpa’s spirit tablet when he passed away. u did it. You can well ask these people that under what condition would a granddaughter be responsible for this and not his son.”

Reuben knew the rule himself. Katherine can only do this if he was died.

Katherine then said in a clearly audible voice, “I carried the tablet when my grandpa passed away, so from the day you left us, you are died to me. I don’t have father
